Known across the nation as the torchbearer of the ‘Natural Farming’ (Prakrutik Krushi) movement, the Governor’s visit is centered around boosting this mission in South Gujarat.
To ensure flawless execution and to showcase the district’s agricultural progress, a high-level review meeting was convened at the Valsad District Panchayat. The meeting was chaired by the District Development Officer (DDO), Mr. Atirag Chaplot, putting the entire administrative machinery into “Action Mode.”
DDO Reviews ATMA Project Preparedness
The agenda of the meeting held in the conference hall of the District Panchayat was crystal clear: Review the status of Natural Farming and the implementation of the ATMA (Agricultural Technology Management Agency) project.
With the Governor’s visit on the horizon, the administration is leaving no stone unturned. DDO Atirag Chaplot issued strict instructions to all departmental heads, emphasizing that data regarding natural farming must be accurate and field preparations must be impeccable.
The Governing Board members of the ATMA project engaged in deep discussions about the roadmap for agricultural development in the district, ensuring that the Governor gets a true picture of the ground reality.
Valsad’s Leap in Natural Farming
During the meeting, Mr. D.N. Patel, the Project Director of ATMA, presented a detailed report on the district’s achievements.
He highlighted that numerous Model Farms have been developed across the district, which will be showcased to the Governor. The report indicated a significant shift in the mindset of local farmers, who are increasingly moving away from chemical farming towards nature-based solutions.
The success stories of “Cow-Based Farming” (Gau-Adharit Kheti) and the use of “Jivamrut” were presented. These methods have not only reduced input costs for farmers but have also improved soil fertility in several talukas of Valsad.
Synergy Between Agriculture & Horticulture
Valsad is famous for its Alphonso Mangoes and Chikoos. Recognizing this, District Agriculture Officer Arun Garasia stressed the coordination between the Agriculture and Horticulture departments.
The meeting discussed how natural farming techniques are being successfully applied to horticultural crops. Representatives from the Krushi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) and agricultural scientists also provided their inputs.
This collaborative approach is a testament to the administration’s seriousness. They aim to demonstrate to the Governor that Valsad is not just growing grains but is also leading in fruit production using eco-friendly methods.
Governor’s Visit: A Boost for Farmers
Governor Acharya Devvratji is a passionate advocate for agriculture. His visit is generating excitement among the progressive farmers of Valsad.
The meeting focused on creating opportunities for direct interaction between the Governor and the local farmers. The administration wants the success stories of Valsad’s farmers to reach the state level through the Governor.
DDO Atirag Chaplot gave minute-to-minute instructions regarding the Governor’s route, the arrangements at the farm sites, and strict adherence to protocol.
Farmers’ Voice and Ground Reality
A key feature of this strategy meeting was the inclusion of progressive farmers alongside government officials. These farmers shared their practical experiences, challenges, and triumphs in adopting natural farming.
It is expected that the Governor will engage in a dialogue with these farmers. The farmers expressed hope for more government support in marketing natural products. The DDO assured them that the Governor’s visit would amplify their voice and bring high-level attention to their issues.
Technical Backing by Universities
Experts from Navsari Agricultural University and KVK brought a scientific perspective to the table. They are prepared to present their research findings on how natural farming improves soil health and contributes to carbon credits.
The academic institutions pledged their full technical support to realize the Governor’s vision of making Valsad a “Hub of Natural Farming.”
Security and Logistics Review
Given the high-profile nature of the visit, security and logistics were top priorities. Discussions were held to ensure seamless coordination between the District Panchayat and the Collector’s office.
The DDO ordered engineers to immediately inspect and repair roads, water supply, and other basic amenities in the areas scheduled for the Governor’s visit.
Future Roadmap: Beyond the Visit
The meeting concluded with a long-term strategy. The goal is not just to impress the Governor during his visit but to ensure that natural farming reaches every village in Valsad in the long run.
The administration plans to hold workshops at the Panchayat level and increase the reach of subsidies for maintaining indigenous cows. The Governor’s visit is seen as a catalyst that will accelerate this ongoing movement.
Conclusion: A Moment of Pride for Valsad
In conclusion, the Valsad administration is fully prepared to welcome the Governor. Under the leadership of DDO Atirag Chaplot, the groundwork has been laid for a successful event.
